Religious faith isn't a matter of intelligence or reason but one of maturity. Religous people are not mature enough to live in a world where certain fundamental questions about their existance go unanswered by reason. It's fustrating I know, but what can you do about it?

You think the government sets wages? Asside from the minimum wage no, of course not. I did not mean to imply that it did. However the people in power do exert a large amount of control over wages, and the lower your economic posistion is the greater this control is. How is this done? Through laws conc

It's pretty rare to meet someone who is poor and is also working very hard. That's probably because you (as well of all of us) live in very insular worlds. In your world you do not see (or perhaps, notice) the people who are poor who work their asses off. But then, this could also come down to how yo

In a free society, the market decides how much people make. "The Market" doesn't decide any such thing, the people in power do. It has always been this way.

I knew I was opening a can of worms with this. Unforfortunately I am probably not articulate enough to explain my posistion succinctly, but I will give it a shot. Which is more important, the symbol or the ideals which that symbol represents? To me, the answer is that the ideals are far more important than the symbol. But unfortunately people tend to personalize symbols and therefore consider an attack on the symbol to be an attack on

I have always considered burning the flag a greater act of patriotism than killing people because your government tells you to. I know this is hard for many to understand but being able to burn our flag actively symbolizes what is great about this country. IMO wanting to hurt people because they burn the flag is extremely unpatriotic.

Actually Hume failed to prove that. If he had proven it, that in itself would be an absolute truth. I can only assume that you have not read Hume then.

Good and evil will always be relative, but that doesn't mean that they aren't useful terms. There is no absolute truth/knowledge. If I remember correctly it was Hume who proved that. I love Feynman. Everyone go read "Surely You're Joking Mister Feynman", it's a great book.

But at 1985, when mean Mr. Reagan finally got through some of the elimination of "programs for the poor" the poverty rate had actually increased to14%.
